Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle roof with a sunroof having a frame inserted into a vehicle roof opening, wherein the vehicle roof opening extends to both sides of a middle region of the vehicle roof carried by struts of the vehicle and wherein the frame has at least two longitudinal frame parts, which the longitudinal edges the vehicle roof opening.
- Such vehicle roofs with a sliding roof which covers the largest part of the vehicle roof, have only been used for a short time.
- the vehicle roof opening is located not only in the front part of the vehicle roof, but extends almost over the entire length of the roof and thereby also includes an area which is located between usually called B-pillar struts of the vehicle.
- the problem here is that the roof contributes to the stiffening of the body.
- the B-pillar bears the main load, it is supported on a floor spar and a roof spar. This gives way when the roof is weakened by the roof opening. This results in deep intrusions of the B-pillar in the passenger compartment, which can lead to injury to vehicle occupants.
- the vehicle roof is usually reinforced with hoops, at least one of which extends between the two B-pillars in the central area of the roof. If the roof is interrupted by the vehicle roof opening, such bows can not be used. So far, the frame has been made relatively stiff. However, this is usually associated with a high weight of the frame, which runs contrary to the goal of building a vehicle as easy as possible.
- a vehicle roof which, however, has only a small vehicle roof opening in front of the B pillars.
- the rear transverse frame part is extended laterally to the roof spar and forms in this way a bow.
- the DE 30 32 122 deals with the stiffening of a roof, which is provided with a vehicle roof opening. Again, this is only in front of the B-pillars.
- the frame of the sliding roof extends over the central region of the roof to the rear and forms a cassette there for receiving the pushed back sunroof part.
- a transverse reinforcement is provided in the area of the B-pillars, which is laterally connected to a bent at the roof opening edge down flange.
- the invention is thus based on the problem of stiffening a roof with a longitudinally extended roof opening for receiving a frame for a sliding roof sufficiently.
- the invention provides that in the central region of the vehicle roof between the two longitudinal frame parts is supported on the inside and fastened there cross member is present.
- the stiffening is particularly effective especially when the cross member is in the upper part of the frame, ie at the height of the vehicle roof.
- the longitudinal frame members have an outwardly facing flange with which they are attached to the underside of the vehicle roof.
- the cross strut is connected to the longitudinal frame parts.
- the cross strut can be relatively easily connected to the longitudinal frame members by beak-shaped projections are on the inner sides, which are provided with a slot. In this slot, the flat ends of the crossbar are inserted and welded there, riveted or otherwise secured.
- the longitudinally extended frame makes it possible to use two sliding roof parts, namely a front sliding and a rear immovable sliding roof part, wherein the transverse strut extends below the abutting edge between the two sliding roof parts.
- the longitudinal frame parts furthermore have a guide rail for the displaceable sliding roof part, wherein the transverse strut is supported above the guide rail on the longitudinal frame part.
- the front sunroof part can be guided directly.
- a mechanism can be performed, which allows to guide the front sunroof part on the rear sunroof part.
- the crossbar may be stiffened with beads and / or ribs extending in its longitudinal direction. In addition, it may, viewed in the transverse direction of the vehicle, be a little convex upwards. These are also measures that counteract a sudden buckling of the crossbar under load. Due to the slightly convex curvature results in a tension that withstands high loads or gives way only hesitantly. To this convex To achieve curvature, the slots that receive the ends of the crossbar, obliquely directed upward.
- Another solution provides that in the event that the sunroof consists of two, namely a front sliding and a rear stationary sunroof part, the cross member is connected to the rear sunroof part.
- Such sunroofs are used in particular when both sliding roof parts are made transparent.
- blinds or slats are guided on the guide rails of the longitudinal frame parts.
- FIG. 1 shows a frame 1 for a vehicle roof opening, which is composed of aluminum profiles. It has in detail two parallel longitudinal frame parts 2 and a front and a rear transverse frame part 3. At the rear transverse frame part, the rear part, a roller 4 is fixed with a roller blind.
- the frame 1 is screwed to a vehicle roof opening in approximately the same size from the bottom, wherein on or in the frame a front sunroof part and a rear sunroof part are arranged, which close the frame and thus the vehicle roof opening.
- transverse strut 5 which divides the frame opening into a front, slightly larger part 6 and a rear, slightly smaller part 7.
- the cross member 5 which is not shown here in detail, approximately between the B pillars of the vehicle, which carry the roof.
- the high struts of the vehicle side parts are referred to as A, B and C pillars, wherein the A pillars form the front boundary of the passenger compartment and represent in their upper regions part of the frame of the windshield. Limit the B-pillars the frame for the front side doors to the rear. Finally, the C-pillars form the rear boundary of the passenger compartment.
- the longitudinal frame parts 2 are formed of aluminum profiles which have approximately a U-shaped cross-section, with an outwardly directed flange serves as a mounting flange 8, with which the frame is attached to the underside of the roof opening edge. Further flanges 9 serve as a support or as a rail for the sliding roof parts or for the roller blind.
- a non-inventive embodiment is located on the inwardly directed side of the profile in the upper part of a beak-shaped extension 10 which forms a slot 11.
- This slot 11 serves to receive the flattened ends of the crossbar 5, as well in FIG. 2 can be seen.
- the mounting flange 8 is fixed to the underside of the stopped edge 12 of the vehicle roof.
- An upper end edge 13 of the outer wall of the profile is used to attach a seal 14 between the edge 12 of the vehicle roof and a sunroof part.
- FIG. 2 can be seen, the cross strut 5 beads and grooves on to avoid premature buckling.
- FIG. 4 shows again a longitudinal section through the sunroof. It can be seen that the transverse strut 5 is located below the abutting edge between the front and the rear sunroof part 16, 17. It can also be seen that the sunroof parts are stabilized by stiffening profiles 18, 19, wherein the stiffening profile 19 of the rear sunroof part 17 engages under the front sunroof part 16 and carries a seal 20 for closing the abutting edge. Below the transparently designed sunroof parts 16, 17 are movable sunblinds 21, which are held on the already mentioned guides on the longitudinal frame parts 2.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Fahrzeugdach mit einem Schiebedach, das einen in eine Fahrzeugdachöffnung eingesetzten Rahmen aufweist, wobei die Fahrzeugdachöffnung sich zu beiden Seiten eines von Hochstreben des Fahrzeuges getragenen mittleren Bereiches des Fahrzeugdaches erstreckt und wobei der Rahmen mindestens zwei Längsrahmenteile aufweist, die die Längskanten der Fahrzeugdachöffnung einfassen.The invention relates to a vehicle roof with a sunroof having a frame inserted into a vehicle roof opening, wherein the vehicle roof opening extends to both sides of a middle region of the vehicle roof carried by struts of the vehicle and wherein the frame has at least two longitudinal frame parts, which the longitudinal edges the vehicle roof opening.
Derartige Fahrzeugdächer mit einem Schiebedach, das den größten Teil des Fahrzeugdaches umfasst, werden erst seit kurzer Zeit eingesetzt. Groß bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass sich die Fahrzeugdachöffnung nicht nur im vorderen Teil des Fahrzeugdaches befindet, sondern sich nahezu über die gesamte Länge des Daches erstreckt und dabei auch einen Bereich umfasst, der sich zwischen üblicherweise als B-Säulen bezeichneten Hochstreben des Fahrzeuges befindet.Such vehicle roofs with a sliding roof, which covers the largest part of the vehicle roof, have only been used for a short time. Large in this context means that the vehicle roof opening is located not only in the front part of the vehicle roof, but extends almost over the entire length of the roof and thereby also includes an area which is located between usually called B-pillar struts of the vehicle.
Die Problematik dabei ist, dass das Dach zur Versteifung der Karosserie beiträgt. Bei Seitenkollisionen, bei denen die B-Säule die Hauptlast trägt, stützt sich diese an einem Bodenholm und einem Dachholm ab. Dieser gibt nach, wenn das Dach durch die Dachöffnung geschwächt ist. Dadurch ergeben sich tiefe Intrusionen der B-Säule in die Fahrgastzelle, die zu Verletzungen der Fahrzeuginsassen führen können.The problem here is that the roof contributes to the stiffening of the body. In side collisions, where the B-pillar bears the main load, it is supported on a floor spar and a roof spar. This gives way when the roof is weakened by the roof opening. This results in deep intrusions of the B-pillar in the passenger compartment, which can lead to injury to vehicle occupants.
Um dies zu vermeiden, wird das Fahrzeugdach normalerweise mit Spriegeln verstärkt, von denen sich zumindest einer zwischen den beiden B-Säulen im mittleren Bereich des Daches erstreckt. Wenn das Dach aber durch die Fahrzeugdachöffnung unterbrochen ist, lassen sich derartige Spriegel nicht mehr einsetzen. Man hat daher bisher den Rahmen relativ steif ausgeführt. Dies ist aber in der Regel mit einem hohen Gewicht des Rahmens verbunden, was dem Ziel entgegen läuft, ein Fahrzeug möglichst leicht zu bauen.To avoid this, the vehicle roof is usually reinforced with hoops, at least one of which extends between the two B-pillars in the central area of the roof. If the roof is interrupted by the vehicle roof opening, such bows can not be used. So far, the frame has been made relatively stiff. However, this is usually associated with a high weight of the frame, which runs contrary to the goal of building a vehicle as easy as possible.
So diskutiert die
Aus der
Man hat auch schon daran gedacht, die Dachholme mit einem Spriegel zu verbinden, der unter dem Rahmen verläuft. Da der Rahmen jedoch je nach Bauweise relativ tief in die Fahrgastzelle eintaucht, kann der Spriegel die in das Dach eingeleiteten Kräfte nicht unmittelbar abstützen, sondern knickt vielmehr nach unten aus, wobei seine Versteifungswirkung verloren geht.It has also been thought to connect the roof rails with a bow, which runs under the frame. However, since the frame dips relatively deep into the passenger compartment depending on the design, the bow can not directly support the forces introduced into the roof, but rather kinks down, whereby its stiffening effect is lost.
Die Erfindung beruht somit auf dem Problem, ein Dach mit einer in Längsrichtung ausgedehnten Dachöffnung zur Aufnahme eines Rahmens für ein Schiebedach in ausreichendem Maße zu versteifen.The invention is thus based on the problem of stiffening a roof with a longitudinally extended roof opening for receiving a frame for a sliding roof sufficiently.
Zur Lösung des Problems sieht die Erfindung vor, dass in dem mittleren Bereich des Fahrzeugdaches zwischen den beiden Längsrahmenteilen eine sich an deren Innenseite abstützende und dort befestigte Querstrebe vorhanden ist.To solve the problem, the invention provides that in the central region of the vehicle roof between the two longitudinal frame parts is supported on the inside and fastened there cross member is present.
Statt also die Rahmenteile zu verstärken, wird eine zusätzliche Querstrebe zwischen den Längsrahmenteilen eingezogen. Auf diese Weise wird der Rahmen mit einfachen Mitteln versteift, so dass bei einem Seitenaufprall das Dach eine genügende Festigkeit aufweist, so dass die B-Säule aufgrund des Aufpralles nicht nach innen knickt.So instead of reinforcing the frame parts, an additional cross strut between the longitudinal frame parts is drawn. In this way, the frame is stiffened by simple means, so that in a side impact the roof has a sufficient strength, so that the B-pillar does not buckle inwardly due to the impact.
Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die Versteifung insbesondere dann besonders effektiv wird, wenn die Querstrebe sich im oberen Teil des Rahmens, also auf Höhe des Fahrzeugdaches, befindet. Im Speziellen besitzen die Längsrahmenteile einen nach außen weisenden Flansch, mit denen sie an der Unterseite des Fahrzeugdaches befestigt sind. In etwa auf dieser Höhe wird die Querstrebe mit den Längsrahmenteilen verbunden.It has been found that the stiffening is particularly effective especially when the cross member is in the upper part of the frame, ie at the height of the vehicle roof. In particular, the longitudinal frame members have an outwardly facing flange with which they are attached to the underside of the vehicle roof. In about this height, the cross strut is connected to the longitudinal frame parts.
Die Querstrebe kann relativ einfach mit den Längsrahmenteilen verbunden werden, indem sich an deren Innenseiten schnabelförmige Fortsätze befinden, die mit einem Schlitz versehen sind. In diesen Schlitz werden die flachen Enden der Querstrebe eingesteckt und dort verschweißt, vernietet oder in sonstiger Weise befestigt.The cross strut can be relatively easily connected to the longitudinal frame members by beak-shaped projections are on the inner sides, which are provided with a slot. In this slot, the flat ends of the crossbar are inserted and welded there, riveted or otherwise secured.
Weitere ebenfalls geeignete Befestigungsarten sind weiter unten im Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben.Further also suitable types of fastening are described below in the embodiment.
Der in Längsrichtung ausgedehnte Rahmen ermöglicht es, zwei Schiebedachteile einzusetzen, nämlich ein vorderes verschiebbares und ein hinteres unbewegliches Schiebedachteil, wobei die Querstrebe unterhalb der Stoßkante zwischen den beiden Schiebedachteilen verläuft. Dadurch ergibt sich zum einen ein gewisser ästhetischer Eindruck, da die Stoßkante optisch verdeckt wird. Zum anderen liegt auch ein technischer Grund vor: Im Bereich der aneinanderstoßenden Kanten der Schiebedachteile ist die Versteifung des Rahmens durch die Schiebedachteile selbst besonders schwach, so dass gerade hier eine zusätzliche Querverstrebung notwendig ist.The longitudinally extended frame makes it possible to use two sliding roof parts, namely a front sliding and a rear immovable sliding roof part, wherein the transverse strut extends below the abutting edge between the two sliding roof parts. This results, on the one hand, in a certain aesthetic impression, since the abutting edge is optically concealed. On the other hand, there is also a technical reason: in the region of the abutting edges of the sunroof parts, the stiffening of the frame by the sunroof parts itself is particularly weak, so that just here an additional cross brace is necessary.
Die Längsrahmenteile weisen des Weiteren eine Führungsschiene für das verschiebbare Schiebedachteil auf, wobei die Querstrebe oberhalb der Führungsschiene an dem Längsrahmenteil abgestützt ist. In diesen Schienen kann das vordere Schiebedachteil unmittelbar geführt werden. Hier kann aber auch ein Mechanismus geführt werden, der es erlaubt, das vordere Schiebedachteil über das hintere Schiebedachteil zu führen.The longitudinal frame parts furthermore have a guide rail for the displaceable sliding roof part, wherein the transverse strut is supported above the guide rail on the longitudinal frame part. In these rails, the front sunroof part can be guided directly. Here, however, a mechanism can be performed, which allows to guide the front sunroof part on the rear sunroof part.
Wie allgemein üblich, kann die Querstrebe mit sich in ihrer Längsrichtung verlaufenden Sicken und/oder Rippen versteift werden. Außerdem kann sie, in Querrichtung des Fahrzeuges betrachtet, ein wenig konvex nach oben gewölbt sein. Dies sind ebenfalls Maßnahmen, die einem plötzlichen Ausknicken der Querstrebe bei Belastung entgegen wirken. Durch die leicht konvexe Wölbung ergibt sich ein Spannungsbogen, der auch hohen Belastungen standhält bzw. nur zögerlich nachgibt. Um diese konvexe Wölbung zu erreichen, sind die Schlitze, die die Enden der Querstrebe aufnehmen, schräg nach oben gerichtet.As is common practice, the crossbar may be stiffened with beads and / or ribs extending in its longitudinal direction. In addition, it may, viewed in the transverse direction of the vehicle, be a little convex upwards. These are also measures that counteract a sudden buckling of the crossbar under load. Due to the slightly convex curvature results in a tension that withstands high loads or gives way only hesitantly. To this convex To achieve curvature, the slots that receive the ends of the crossbar, obliquely directed upward.
Eine andere Lösung sieht vor, dass für den Fall, dass das Schiebedach aus zwei, nämlich einem vorderen verschiebbaren und einem hinteren unbeweglichen Schiebedachteil besteht, die Querstrebe mit dem hinteren Schiebedachteil verbunden ist.Another solution provides that in the event that the sunroof consists of two, namely a front sliding and a rear stationary sunroof part, the cross member is connected to the rear sunroof part.
Derartige Schiebedächer kommen insbesondere dann zum Einsatz, wenn beide Schiebedachteile transparent ausgeführt sind. Um Sonneneinstrahlungen in diesem Fall zu verhindern, sind an den Führungsschienen der Längsrahmenteile Rollos oder Lamellen geführt.Such sunroofs are used in particular when both sliding roof parts are made transparent. In order to prevent solar radiation in this case, blinds or slats are guided on the guide rails of the longitudinal frame parts.
